Robert L Bradshaw is a Linguistic Consultant and Translation Advisor for SIL International, and has served in Papua New Guinea for 35 years. He has been involved in advising three language communities of Central Province, Papua New Guinea, in language development, as well as training and consulting many translation advisors in linguistic analysis, mainly of Papuan languages.
He holds an MA in linguistics from the University of Washington and a PhD in linguistics from James Cook University.

Research
Robert’s primary research includes the Southeast Papuan Goilalan, Kwalean and Manubaran families. His PhD thesis is entitled “A Grammar of Doromu-Koki: A Papuan Language of Papua New Guinea”. Research on the Doromu-Koki language (of Central Province; Southeast Papuan, Manubaran) was conducted from 2001-2019. Uare language (Central Province; Southeast Papuan, Kwalean) development took place from 2005-2011 and previous research included the Fuyug language (Central Province; Southeast Papuan, Goilalan) from 1988-2000.
